Medical

JHU offers several medical plan options for you and your family, each of which includes prescription drug coverage. The plans vary in terms of cost, coverage, and providers you’re able to see, and eligibility varies based on your employment status.

If you don’t have medical coverage elsewhere, you must select one of JHU’s medical plans. If you are covered under another plan, you may waive medical coverage by submitting a medical waiver, available on the myChoices Health & Life portal.

FREE AT-HOME COVID-19 TESTS THROUGH YOUR PRESCRIPTION PLAN

Beginning January 15, if you have Express Scripts prescription coverage through the university, you can visit your local retail pharmacy for at-home COVID-19 tests at no cost to you.  If you were not able to purchase your at-home COVID-19 test(s) at the pharmacy counter or were charged, you can submit a receipt for reimbursement.  Kaiser Permanente HMO participants can visit kp.org/covidtesting.

Eligibility

JHU offers medical benefits to full-time, part-time, and limited-time members of the university’s faculty and staff, and to LIUNA bargaining unit members, and their eligible dependents.
